Hi everyone and a happy Friday to you all. It’s been a while since I have posted a flower of the day but looking through my photo albums, I discovered that I have a copious amount of flowers to show case.
Today’s flower is the common hollyhock. I found this nestled against a wall when visiting my sister last year in Cambridgeshire. I loved the colour and the fact that it was sitting on its own. Simple yet effective. It is a stalk-flowering plant known for its height and beautiful flowers. Have you ever seen one of these?

I am also thinking of Cee and hoping that she returns to full health soon. She is always inspiring us to post flowers and for that I am grateful ☺️.

Great photo as always. I love flowers but other than the “nomal” everyday flowers I not know the name of flowers outside of the norm. Beautiful color to it and I like the fact it is like a vine.

That’s a great photo, Wayne. I think Cee would be proud.
The word hollyhock always reminds me of a twitter friend from the early days of the platform. She was local in Hartford and recorded a song. I’m not sure the link will work, but I’m going to give it a try. I don’t usually drop links, I hope you don’t mind. https://youtu.be/sii_VGZGckY?feature=shared

That’s a great song Dan. I love it and just added to my playlist, thanks for sharing. Isn’t it funny how a song can remind us of a random thing or period of time in our lives?! Fantastic.
